I've always been fascinated by activists, people who will devote their life to a cause, people who go to India and to Africa and put their life in jeopardy to do what they believe is right.

More quotes by Rachel Weisz
You never know how things will turn out. And you can't really say it turned out wrong. Whatever happens, happens. The important thing is that you followed your gut.
Rachel Weisz
I don't know anything about science.
Rachel Weisz
I was offered more work after the Oscar. When I was younger, I would take whatever I was offered because it was money and work and experience. In a way, choosing is the hard part. I know that's a luxury problem, but it's true. I try to go where passion takes me.
Rachel Weisz
It's really hard to make a good film it's really, really hard. So, the director's very important, and a character that can be described with more than one or two adjectives, maybe with contradictions. Contradictions are always good because that's truthful.
Rachel Weisz
The most interesting characters are those you're drawn to, then repelled by, and then come to understand. All that tension - I live that. But I don't plan the tension. It's just something that should happen.
Rachel Weisz
Because I think in order to get famous you have to be known for something. Like 'You're the romantic comedy girl' or 'You're the Oscar-winning whatever girl.'
Rachel Weisz
Well, I'm not at all like the tough, sexy femme fatale in Confidence but it's fun to play people who're really different from you, from different cultures and places. I suppose I'm a bit quieter than most of the people I play.
Rachel Weisz
It's also that comedians don't have the kind of narcissism that actors have. They're writers who perform their own material. It's more interesting. And they're sexy because they risk more. Stand-up comedians risk more than anyone.
Rachel Weisz
I don't like travelling. Which is ridiculous. And it's not because I'm afraid of dying on the plane or anything. I just like to stay at home.
Rachel Weisz
I don't think balance is something you get from someone else it's something women have to find from within. For me, finding balance is still a work in progress.
Rachel Weisz
Seeing someone you know be good at something is really appealing. Seeing how Darren Aronofsky behaved on set, it was another aspect of him, the director. He'd never directed me at home in the kitchen before. It was just seeing a whole other aspect of someone. It was really, really exciting. I loved it.
Rachel Weisz
I want to play interesting women.
Rachel Weisz
I moved to New York last year and I love it. It's a huge change and I've always wanted to spend time there. It's like a more intense London, and everything's up a few notches. The lights are brighter, the pace is faster and the food's better.
Rachel Weisz
I'm thinking of doing more theatre. It makes me very happy.
Rachel Weisz
I was an English-literature major, and that's all about stories and narratives.
Rachel Weisz
Normally, I would do research. For The Constant Gardener, I played an activist, so I went to meet activists. You can find them dotted around. But with The Brothers Bloom, I couldn't meet a nutty heiress who lived in a bubble in a mansion. There was no one to meet. So this was just an active imagining, a daydream.
Rachel Weisz
For me, being a mum has been a really, really instinctive thing.
Rachel Weisz
I could never write. I would just be too lonely. What's great about acting is, it's so collaborative.
Rachel Weisz
Botox should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen. Acting is all about expression why would you want to iron out a frown?
Rachel Weisz
Often Hollywood crews go into third world countries and I don't believe they behave well.
